reddit-saved-category
Overview
Reddit users with gold get access to some cool features, one of which being "saved categories", which lets you assign posts you save to a category for easy sorting later.
In order to change a category, you have to unsave it, save it again, then you can choose a category to save it under. This results in 3 total requests (1 request to /api/unsave and 2 requests to /api/save) to accomplish one single task. It wastes the user's time, and it wastes (albeit very little) server resources.
reddit-saved-category aims to solve this problem by letting you change not only one, but several posts' categories at once. Just check each post you want to change, select a category for them at the top of your 'Saved' page, and click "save multiple".
Usage
After you have the script installed, you should be able to use it when you go to your 'Saved' page, which is available at https://www.reddit.com/user/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/saved. You can select one or more posts with the checkboxes, and change their category via the dropdown at the top of the page.
Note, at this time, you should give the script a few seconds after saving before leaving the page. The more posts you're saving the longer it'll take, but it really shouldn't take very long either way.
TODO
- Add bulk unsaving
- Add a toggle to enable editing mode (no need to download saved categories if you're not going to change anything)
- Make post checkboxes look nicer
- Add support for RES's Never Ending Reddit
- Warn the user before leaving the page if it's still saving posts
